Hi folks,
=20
I'm trying to access a local CPAN mirror over FTP and am unable to
connect.

cpan> reload index
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /.cpan/Metadata

Fetching with LWP:

LWP failed with code[401] message[Login incorrect.]
Fetching with Net::FTP:

Couldn't login on cpan.arrow.com at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN.pm

^CCaught SIGINT

The http call fails because we don't have ****t 80 open (I might be able
to fix that later), but ftp works fine from a command line. It looks to
me like it's trying to login as "anonymous" even though I have
configured "username" and "password" through the CPAN shell.

Does anyone know if there's a way around this other than hacking CPAN.pm
which I wouldn't be crazy about doing?
TIA
